Good posts by everyone............I learned a lot re the rear suspension. I enjoyed Texasbowhunter and his great input, ct1950, and rogerdodgers comments........all great which gave me a lot to think about.
My immeadiate concern is the "filling of air" and no fixed gauge on the bike with a "shut off" valve ahead of it. What I mean to do is rig up a means of shutting off the shock at the exact pressure and then disconnecting the pump. This means you can read the static pressure in the shocks immeadiately after disconnecting the pump along with the ability to moniter the air pressure at any given time. I will research the "shrader type" valves for this.
